+1 leaning forward in to the wind. it is why it is so comfy to ride a naked standard. just balance speed, shoulder position, etc, and take the weight off your hands.

I never found cruising at 70 mph an issue with no fairing at all, but that was on an old cb750 and it wouldn't really do any more for a long day of slab. Now I have the zrx, with the fairing 90 mph (indicated) cruising is easy and the bike seems to settle there pretty nicely, but I think if I take the fairing off my drivers license will appreciate it. throttle sticky-ifier will help, too....

and the bars really do have way too much sweep back for my taste, but I am waiting to mess around some more with all the different options (including pulling the fairing) up front before I go buying stuff....

At first I thought I wouldn't like it, but after my 100 mile highway ride yesterday I really enjoyed how it felt. I maintained about 70 mph the whole way and didn't feel fatigue at all. The wind was manageable. It is definitely staying like it is.

Good to get the input. I've been thinking about it a lot. I like the look better, too. can't ride yet (injury) but once I'm back on there are a few things I'd like to do to prep the bike for long rides and that is way up there on the list of things to try......

I just thought I would share what a Givi A620 Universal windshield looks like mounted on a ZRX1100 with a round headlight. It works quite well with olny slightly more wind noise. But it makes my 50 mile commute much easier to handle. Takes about 3 minutes to take off but slightly longer to put back on, about 10 minutes. It is a 4-point mounting system, 2 on the handlebars and 2 on the forks.
